Orlucent Demonstrates Accurate, Non-Invasive Detection in vivo of Melanoma-Related Activity Using First-in-Kind Handheld Mole Imaging System

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, January 16, 2024

With the current standard of care, melanoma is identified in suspicious nevi using subjective visual clinical evaluations, during which the color, shape, and size of nevi are assessed using the ABCDE criteria (asymmetry, border, color, diameter, and evolution). When moles exhibit only one or two of these atypical features, discerning whether they could develop into melanoma becomes arduous. To avoid missing a melanoma, dermatologists rely on "when in doubt, cut it out" to manage moles which do not overtly classify as melanoma or benign -- the "grey area" lesions -- resulting in unnecessary biopsies, scarring and patient anxiety.

Key Points: 
  • Melanoma, the most lethal form of skin cancer, has long been a challenge to detect accurately, particularly those cases with the potential for aggressive behavior.
  • When moles exhibit only one or two of these atypical features, discerning whether they could develop into melanoma becomes arduous.
  • Encouraged by these findings, Orlucent is continuing research of mSFI and is preparing for FDA submission.
  • The peer-reviewed article in Pigment Cell and Melanoma Research is titled, "Molecular Skin Fluorescence Imaging: A Tool for Evaluating Early Melanoma Development," and can be found at http://doi.org/10.1111/pcmr.13159 .
